This paper develops a theoretical model of intergenerational transfers inc orporating time use. With the aid of time budget and consumer expendi ture surveys, empirical estimates of the age profiles of various type s of time and goods consumption are presented, and the authors conclu de that (1) the net direction of intergenerational transfers is from younger to older ages; (2) under the golden-rule assumption, these tr ansfers largely constitute an externality to childbearing; and (3) th ey are not large enough to offset the capital dilution effect that wo uld result from higher fertility and more rapid population growth.
